The So personswere bruised by the jolt and thrown intoa panic by the blaze and all rushed tothe tracks regardless of the deadly thirdrail and escaped.The two cars and both motors werecrowded. They started from the signal,forging ahead with more speed than isconsidered safe, and left the track withinto feet from the platfom and crashedinto a bumper outside the curve.The passengers were thrown from theirseats and windows were broken. As thecars came to a standstill a loud reportresounded and others like musketry followed. Simultaneous a sheet of flameshot into the air.Then a shower of sparks mingled withtongues of blue fire played around thecars, setting fire to the flooring and sidesand igniting the levated structure. Theimprisoned passengers shrieked in horrorand madly rushed to the rear door, whichwas closed.In a twinkling the door was shatteredand men and women pourned out uponthe platform and swarmed down upon theroadbed, oblivious of the fact that deathlay in the sputtering third rail.Luckily none of the frightened passengers touched it and all escaped to thestation platform. *Meanwhile the flamescommunicated by the tfhird rail grew, andthe fire engines were called out andeventually extinguished the flames.REJANE IS TO GO0 0GREAT FRENCH ACTRESS REFUSESTO BE RECONCILED WITH HERHUSBAND, PORTEL.BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.Paris, Oct. 24.-Preliminary to the hcearfngs to the divorce suit brought byMadame Rejane against her husband, M.Portel, her manager and director of theVaudeville theater and the counter suitbrought by M.

A. Walker, proprietor of the Finlenhotel, has caused the arrest of James V.Martin, on a charge of obtaining money ona worthless check. The warrant for Martin's apprehension was issued out of Justice Doran's court, yesterday afternoon, although the alleged offense was committedon October 9g.At that time Martin is alleged to havecalled on Mr. Walker and presented acheck for $So, drawn on the Western Montana National bank of Missoula. Mr.Walker cashed it and thought nothingwrong. When the check finally found itsway to Missoula and was presented at thebank it was pronounced worthless.Martin had not left the city and Detective Jerry Murphy was given charge ofthe case and the alleged swindler waslanded in jail last night.Martin is a cattle buyer. He resides inMissoula and is understood to be a manof means.When seen today and asked for a statement regarding the alleged bogus check,he stated that the whole affair was aterrible mistake, that he had an accountwith the bank at Missoula and at thetime het drew the check was fully confidentthat it would be honored, and that it couldbe nothing more than an overdraft.At the time of his arrest Martin stateshe tendered to Mr. Walker a bill of salefor a horse and buggy, to secure him untilhe could go to Missoula and square matters. This was refused.Martin is a man of slender build, wearsa Vandyke beard, and has the app,earanceof being a well-to-do business man.

CATE NOW KNOWS WHO HE ISAND WHERE HE WAS DURINGMENTAL BLIGHT.BY ASSOCIATED I I'ESS.Southwoo., N. J., Oct. 24.-As sudidlcnly as he disappeared last April, wandering demented, his mind blank, all overthe country, 1)r. Henry II. Cate, proprietor of a sanitarium here, has recoveredhis memory.It all came back to him while he wasreading a mldical book in a sanitarium inGoshen, N. V., where he had been sertseveral weeks ago. D)ropping the bo6k,he started up and exclaimecl:"I have been a physician and had asanitarium at Lakewood l"Dr. Cate then described what had oc.curred from the time he left Lakewoodon a visit to New York, wherehe registered at the hotel Albert. The day afterhis arrival he went out for a walk and didnot return. His empty pocketbook wasfound early next morning under a pileof lumber. It is said the pocketbook had,contaitned $5,ooo. There was nothing init except the physician's cards and the return icket to Lakewood.Although his friends had a generalalarm sent out for him 11ll over thecountry, no news of his whereabouts wasreceived until he was discovered by hisbrother-in-law at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.It was said he had visited Norfolk, St..ouis and Kansas City in the course ofhis wanderings.QUESTION ANSWERED.Yes, August Flower still has the largestsale of any medicine in the civilized world.Your mothers and grandmothers neverthought of using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors werescarce, and they seldom heard of Appen.dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower toclean out the system and stop fermenta.tion of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervousand organic action of the system, and thatis all they took when feeling dull and badwith headaches and other aches. Youonly need a few doses of Green's AugustFlower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matterwith you. You can get this reliable remedy at Newbro Drug Co. and J. T.
